I think that's just as dishonest as claiming he should go to the pro bowl on sack numbers. Freeney is a more dangerous pass rusher at this point, but Marios' better against the run...even if he's not the one making the tackle.

How many guys get 16 sacks in a season. Not many, and most of them have several games where they don't have any. A DE can have a very good game and not have much to show for it. If you think he disappears too much or doesn't get consistent pressure when he's not getting a sack, fine. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I can see your argument somewhat. I do agree that people can get a little carried away with how great he is...or any other player who gets deemed as a star for the home team. Dunta's a perfect example. I hear lots of people talk about Dunta's turned the defense around since he came back. He may be better than Petey, but he hasn't played all that well. That's not a knock on him. I was as fired up as anyone when he came back, and I think he'll be fine next year.
